Economic analysis as a tool of transformation of the format of activity of medical institutions

Abstract

Introduction. The formation of a modern model of development of the national health care system presupposes the existence of economically efficient and financially viable medical institutions. The collaboration of economics and medicine is designed to facilitate the transformation of existing hospitals into medically and economically efficient actors in the national health care market in the face of global threats to human health and budget deficits. Methods and tools of economic analysis should be the basis for the formation of a model of profitable medical business.

Goal. Substantiation of the algorithm for the formation of cost-effective medical business entities based on economic analysis in terms of reforming the national health care system.

Method (methodology). Methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction are used in determining current trends and problems of development of a new format of self-financing of medical institutions in the formation of the national health economy and the formation of an algorithm for profitable medical institutions.

Results. It is proposed to apply the criteria for evaluating decisions to achieve financial and economic efficiency of medical institutions: effectiveness - medical efficiency; cost effectiveness - economic efficiency; necessity - necessity; feasibility probability of realization / feasibility. Factors of potential success of medical business and investment attractiveness are singled out.

A model of calculating the potential profitability of a medical institution according to the ratio of available resources (value of medical services and medical technologies) and the time required to implement the updated idea (mission) of the medical business is proposed.

An algorithm for forming a medical business or improving the existing format of a medical institution in the conditions of the national health economy has been built on the basis of methods and tools of economic analysis.
